Great link there Shooms
What a gimp Pickering is at times though:
we thought club music should be played in a club but for us to have 1200, 1400 people under a sweaty roof was far better than standing in the middle of some daft field. Most of ‘em got cancelled anyway
Very few were in a field - the clue's in the name Mike - it's a warehouse party! Most of em didn't get cancelled either.
He seems to be one of those people that didn't go and then just created a negative assumption of what they were like.

Aye was buzzin when I read Suddi's words
Nice of Sasha to be gracious & modest on his n all Went to Boomtown rave at the weekend in Blackers & was proper buzzing driving off the motorway around the backroads & into town listening to Tilly's running commentry
... can only imagine what it was like back in the day fully convoy'd up Have to say was disappointed by Boomtown... we got in @ 10.30 & the 1st DJ played relentless piano cheese after piano cheese... not even good piano :|
The later tunes were a mixture of old uns (MC Wildski - Warriors / Rhythm Quest - Closer (Hibrid) / Outlander - Vamp / RSW - Phantom, 4 for money - A moment in time were memorable ones) plus new re-edits of old tunes :| & some thumping dirty acidy new tunes...
I was gagging for stuff like Liasons D Future FJP / He chilled out, Bizznizz - Party line / D Shake - Techno Trance / Hardcore Uproar - High on Hope etc etc etc :|
Also the DJs played off CDJs & MP3s :| :| :|

Here's the DJs / organiser / Security
l-r DJ Shack / Jimmy Jenga (promoter) / DJ Big Kenny (played cheese all set) / Security / Security
Nuvva pic of the 'decks'
There were loads of partys held in fields in and around blackburn, jonno...
I remember loads happening along the toby road from edgerton to darwen, and around rivi pike and anglezarke.. by 92 the outdoors stuff was going further afield too- north wales, southport beaches etc

But they weren't the Blackburn parties though, which that article is about.
The Blackburn parties were alomst completely in warehouses, the proper one's anyhow - the early one's by the original crew that kickstarted thousands of people's lives into a total imersion into acid house culture (well mine anyhow). Those one's gave inspiration to the smaller one's later in fields.
Yes please Debs, much appreciated.

I went to see Control there, it has a great sound system..
